May 2005 Welcome to The CTMA Connector, a monthly
newsletter designed to provide news and ideas
about the Commercial Technologies for Maintenance
Activities (CTMA) program. The CTMA program is a
joint Department of Defense/National Center for
Manufacturing Sciences (DoD/NCMS) effort
promoting collaborative technology development
between industry and the DoD maintenance and
repair facilities. This newsletter highlights
ongoing projects, serves as a forum for promoting
new project ideas, and provides other news of
interest to the program.

 
Direct Part Marking (DPM) For High Strength Metals and Painted Over Articles Problem DPM of high strength metals painted over articles is difficult. The overhaul cycles of the high strength steel components typically require shot blast  or a grit blast process that only a fused on data symbol can survive. Other parts requiring Direct Part Marking requires the data symbol to get covered with paint to protect the part from corrosion.   The problem is to find a non-invasive method that allows for the rapid fusion of a DPM to high strength metal substrates.  Another related problem is to find a way to apply direct part marks to paint over articles allowing the data symbol to be read through the paint Solution Find a non-invasive method that allows for the rapid fusion of a DPM to high strength metal substrates.

tags are first application
Single layer circuits applied in the field with
hand-held (near futurebetter masks)
Multi-layer circuits applied under controlled
conditions with positioning tooling (requires
development and culture shift from subtractive to
